It sounds good that he mentioned good memories of your Carribean vacation. The fog must be clearing somewhat for him to even make the connection.

I will be praying hard for you. It seems God has been working hard during the Father's day weekend. Much forward progress on the threads I follow. I will learn from the master and wait patiently for my turn.

I have missed you around here.

Everything happens for a reason, maybe Dad needs to find that it isn't better out there, he needs to realize how good he had it here. Maybe he will find God and that is the most important thing when he finds Him he will know he is supposed to come home.
